MAKING A FAERY HOUSE
I use twine or bendable reeds and a nice flat piece of wood. You can make the house as big or as small as you like. I make mine about 5-6" wide and about 4-5" high. If you have access to shale or other flat stone find some in the proper scale to the house you want. You can also find nice flat riverstones in varying sizes. Be creative. Look for pebbles, acorns, pinecones etc. anything that would look nice decorating your Faery abode. You also want a crystal (I like to use amethyst). Use what you like but try to use all natural material vs. man made objects (they may reject).
You will need some twigs, moss etc. for roofing. Pick out the flat ones to make the sides of the house. Using the flat wood as a base glue the stones on the wood. Be sure to leave a door opening for the Faery to enter. I like to leave a good inch or so border of wood base showing. When you have the sides of your house done Put on your roof. I like to use twigs than place moss on top of that.
After you get this done start decorating the house and wood base with the acorns, pinecones, pebbles etc in a pleasing manner. You can place some items inside the house if you like. I attach the crystal above the door. Sometimes I will even place a trinket (Faery love bright and shining things) in the house. Don't use Iron or nickel as this repels Faery. When ready place the little Faery home somewhere in your garden or flowerbeds. Call out and let the Faery know that this is a place for them. I like to place some milk or honeycakes near the home. Don't do this if you're concerned about attracting animals. Now you have a special place for your Faery friends to visit. You can put as many of these around as you like. I usually keep two or three around.
